Great dual fuel feature!

After searching several generator options out there, I kept coming back to iGen4500DF. The features on the control panel are top of the line and the ability switch to natural gas is a game changer, especially when gas is scarce if we are hit by a hurricane. It is even compact enough to take on our boat for camping trips. Very happy with the purchase.

Very Quiet

Came quicker than expected. Instructions could have been a little more clear about connecting the battery. the oil that came with it over filled the unit... but other than that simple to get going. so far it works grate and starts on the first try every time. I plugged in a grinder and it doesn't even bump up the idle when running, I'm pleased. I had a Champion 3100 before .. This is much quieter, I'm very pleased with my purchase.. my only complaint is there is no 12 volt plug or way to direct charge a battery. If it had it I would give it 5 Stars

Best Option At This Wattage Level

At this wattage level, which can supply our entire house, this is the best generator made. The dual fuel feature was crucial to us, as we prefer to run propane when possible. Electric start and remote start are very convenient, but you always have pull start as a failsafe. The dashboard is well-designed and easy to read. The 30A receptacle is appreciated. The extendable handle and wheels work well, making this easy to move around. The generator is also extremely quiet. We don't hear it indoors when it's running on less than 50% load. Owning this gives us a high degree of confidence should we ever encounter a power outage.

Excellent Generator

I just bought this generator for camping. My plan is to only operate it on propane unless otherwise necessary. I added the required oil, connected the battery, attached the propane source and it immediately started up. It ran excellent under load.

Great unit for quietness

I purchased this unit because my grand children are in the local FFA and we have a trailer that holds six pegs and we need a lot of fans because it gets hot in Texas. The man next to me had a Honda 3500 and he was impressed with mine, because it was quieter than the Honda.

Quiet

I appreciate how quiet it is for the size and the built-in handle and wheels makes it easy to move around. We purchased this to run a portable AC unit and refrigerator in our house as a backup power source. Being able to run with propane is a huge benefit since propane is a stable fuel and can be stored much longer than modern gas with ethanol.

So Far So Good

Bought this generator for emergency needs. This is the first generator I have owned and operated. Pretty easy to setup if you follow the instructions closely. The instructions are pretty good if you read carefully. Using it today for the first time to start the break in period. Doing fine so far. Seems like it will do what i need.

Generator fine the leaking gas not great

I found out today that if you leave the gas valve on that the gas will leak out of the regulator. I purchased this generator for the remote start feature. If you have to go to the tank which is right next to the generator to turn on the gas why do you need a remote start/stop. For this reason I would not recommend this generator.

Great bells and whistles

I bought this because of all the extra features you don’t see on other models of this size and power. Love the fuel level, time remaining and load level that is all found at a quick glance. Packaging was well done as the delivery service was not so gentle with it. Wheels make it easy to move around once you wrangle it from the box with some help.

Very Good Generator

I purchased this unit in September of 2022 and overall the unit is very reliable and well designed. The one feature I would rate poor is related to changing oil. There is virtually no room to work in the access compartment and spillage of oil is guaranteed. Very poor design and I’m amazed that Westinghouse permitted this. I contacted Westinghouse regarding this problem and the person I talked with said she would “let someone know”.
